Mawazine
Mawazine ("Rhythms") is a music festival that takes place annually in Rabat, featuring many international and local music artists.

Majidi is also the founder and president of ''"Maroc culture"'' the cultural foundation which organizes Mawazine and other events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Justin Timberlake to Open Morocco's Mawazine Music Fest )〕
The 2013 festival was attended by an estimated 2.5 million people, which makes Mawazine the biggest festival in the world after Donauinselfest in Vienna. With 90 acts on 7 stages it has the highest ratio of attendees per stage in the world.
Mawazine is one of several events which are intended to promote an image of Morocco as a tolerant nation, with a post on the event's website declaring that the festival intends to promote and support Rabat, as a city open to the world.〔〔 However, it is controversial as some of the country's politicians have criticised the event for also "encouraging immoral behaviour" in addition to its dubious financing by Moroccan state-owned companies or private companies whose only client is the Moroccan state.〔 Artists such as Mariah Carey, Akon, Whitney Houston, Shakira, Kanye West, Evanescence, Rihanna, Jessie J, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, Mika, Sugababes, Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue, LMFAO, Pitbull, P-Square and Alicia Keys have performed at Mawazine.
==History==
